I am asking if anyone has every attached the Phoenix SCSI controller
on their A1000. I am using a Quantum S280 80 meg disk which is set
for device 1. The Phoenix_format utility sees the drive as unit 2
and low-level formats the disk fine. I can mount the drive as
DH0: with no problem but when a attempt to AMIGA-DOS format, it hangs
my system.
Any hints or suggestions would be helpful.lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca (Larry Phillips) (04/10/89)

What you may be seeing is the difference etween what the SCSI target address is, and what the Phoenix software is calling a 'unit'. I am not familiar with the Phoenix product, but perhaps this will help. If the Phoenix formatting software sees the drive as unit 2, then in all likelihood it should be mounted as unit 2 in the mountlist entry. The physical jumpering of the HD does not necessarily map directly to the unit number as seen by the software. On the one host adapter I am familiar with, the 2090(a), the first SCSI drive is always jumpered as SCSI address 0, but is referred to in the mountlist as 'unit 3', because the 2090 itself is unit 0, and the ST506 drives are units 1 and 2. Hope this helps. -larry -- Frisbeetarianism: The belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca or uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
